#open interlude

[tennessoui]

Asfsgdgf Sheari has to put up with so much SHIT from these clowns. I really have to wonder what she thinks about their case as we get further in. Because, like. Anakin's in two relationships. But he only married ONE of them.

"A marriage that demands your loyalty and prioritization" surely can't be too far off when Anakin has clearly prioritized Padme by marrying her... Does Sheari ever suggest that Obi-Wan would feel more secure in their relationship if Anakin married him too? Make it harder for Anakin to leave, give Obi-Wan equal standing, (shut both their brains down by just saying it) -- or would that be outside the boundaries of what's acceptable to address?

such a good question!!!

so the timing needs to be real perfect for this whole leg of the story - Sheari can bring up the marriage before obi-wan and anakin realize she thinks they’re together but she can’t really get into the meat of the marriage issue (aka by asking why anakin married someone else and not obi-wan when it seems to be the root of a lot of obi-wan’s anxieties about future anakin abandonment - anakabdoment if you will) because if she asked them point blank why anakin hasn’t married obi-wan or shown him he loves him in some legal and binding way equal to the marriage he gave Padmé, both anakin and obi-wan are going to be like well. cause we’re not in love,,,,or together,,,, to her face

And that’s not the way the story is going to go!! So before sheari can really ask about the marriage, anakin and obi-wan need to realize that she thinks they’re a couple and then they’re going to need to decide that they’re going to actively lie and pretend to be a couple so that they can keep seeing her because they’ve already been vulnerable with her and they don’t want to start over with someone else

and before that can happen, they need to actually be vulnerable with her over an issue that they would need her to know about but would be very reluctant to tell anyone or talk about

which is gonna be forthcoming in the next few chapters (as soon as they stop storming out of the sessions)

#asks #couples counseling au #I think because it’s so not the part of the story rn #the bit where it’s fake/pretend relationship is forgotten about #but it is coming #and when it has arrived (and when anakin and obi-wan are aware she thinks they’re a couple) #then there will also be time for those questions about their intimacy and sex life #but we’re just in the opening part where we’re coasting on dialogue that could go both ways #in the ‘obi-wan & anakin’ era tag #not yet the ‘obi-wan/anakin’ tag #oh but I will write an interlude chapter from sheari’s pov #probably in between obiwan and anakin realizing and deciding theyre going to fake it #and before and or during the first session where they fake #it - just so we can check in with poor Sheari and see how the outsider feels about this insane couple #who won the war for the republic #but can’t communicate their way out of a paper bag should Sith Lords not be involved

cloud main quest: wow! after a full day at this wacky amusement park full of dance-offs, low poly fighting sims, and silly spooky haunted hotel, i’m ready to take a quick nap so i can enjoy a nice evening off in the funnest place on the planet and maybe even go on a little date with someone special

zack subplot:

#ffvii rebirth #ffvii rebirth spoilers #final fantasy vii #the way you hear zack’s voice as cloud is falling asleep and it transitions into the darkest timeline where like everyone is dead and dying #third(?) zack scene i think it was #Super bleak interlude for the gold saucer #also i know barret’s backstory was different in the original #he was much more at fault for the things that happened than he was in this version #didn’t like those changes #the end of that quest line when barret is sobbing did get me though #REALLY enjoyed gongaga even if the shoehorned line from the original where cloud calls zack a loser felt like it didn’t fit anymore #cloud isn’t the best with feelings but he’s not the kind of person who calls your dead boyfriend a loser for not writing you because he was. #dead. #cissnei girl you could have cleared things up for everyone if you just opened your mouth

Can't believe fgo gave Limbo machine-destroying shikigami bugs, but didn't have him so much as threaten to use them on the mechanical doll girl he's weirdly fixated on, it's a shame...

#fgo #fate grand order #Ashiya Douman #Caster of Limbo #Katou Danzou #heian-kyo in general had the best possible setup that i feel ended up having a lot of wasted potential #especially with her interlude they could have done so much #the stuff we did get between them was great but it just felt like they didn't even talk very much???? #the opening was perfect and then they just didn't do enough with it #yeah its still one of my fav parts though #bugs/ #just a few maggot things crawling out of her mouth and shoulder #suggestive #<-couldn't resist a couple fingers under her clothes #ask to tag #their relationship is just the most interesting thing to me!!

fantastic day. woke naturally around 10am, nutella croissant breakfast, spent the morning reading public domain books about the history of spanish knitting guilds, made fried egg sandwiches for lunch, took a three hour nap, had sex, lounged around aimlessly, took the train to chinatown for dinner, ate vegetarian dry pot spicy enough that i could feel my eustachian tubes, now lying around aimlessly again

#i did have a 15-minute interlude of stopping by lab to move plates from one location to another location #but fortunately no mental work was involved and i spent the whole time listening to a podcast about gundam wing. so not time wasted. #box opener #halfway through the nap i woke up because 🌸 tried to go to work and i talked them into giving up and just joining my nap instead #which i consider one of my great personal successes for the month

#oh my gooood #I had to take a break after I carrion (Icarian) #maybe the best song I’ve ever heard in my life #and I had to stop bc we knew it was all the most devastating setup #oh my god #and a musical interlude that’s actually GOOD!!! #his mind! #if I were a riptide I wouldn’t take you out!! #get fucked #it opens in the darkest possible dark and he doesn't want the light and it ends with him awaiting/watching the sunrise #having lived a full life in the dark #vehicular manslaughter! (kinda) and THATS the moment he realized he was doomed to love her #holy shit #hozier #you have done it again #there were so many times I wanted to go back to relisten but there was no getting off that train #I'm going to BITE and CHOMP and MAIM when I hear these songs live #like I carrion fully brought me to the edge of tears #and the first time I heard the choir come in on this version of Unknown my jaw fucking dropped like actually it was the most powerful #sonic experience of my life and I just fully accepted nothing like that would ever happen again but listening to the whole thing In Order #I knew it was coming and it still got me like the first time #unreal unearth

'perhaps i will write a little samira indulgence today' i say to myself as if this is somehow not allowed and she would not be a part of my nano. as if it is not literally all about her

#pers #its all samira? always has been dot png #genuinely why im having so much fun w various histories this year is bc of the way samiras influence is implied #why would she document this? how does it reflect her? how does it parallel her? #how does she feel about it and what would she say? #but i am writing a little interlude from her actual pov and shes so funny. my girl loves a tangent #she looves to open a parenthetical for three paragraphs and then go back #she loves to list things she loves to get bogged down in details she loves to not self reflect #and i love her!!!!! i literally keep laughing out loud while writing its so fun....

im itching to infodump about the songs in the syndisparklez playlist again bc cats post got me thinkin about the delicious little bit of “behind the scenes” story between capsize, tom and jordan i wrote in my head to talk too much by COIN and violet by bad suns that is exactly the whole bit about capsize being jordan’s scapegoat (loving her bc he was in denial about tom) and tom’s side of it being absolutely fucking pissed and seeing right through it all

#its a plot i admittedly dont talk about a lot but its very much there in chaos and balance #i still havent found the song that’s capsize’s pov but. surely one day #like removing that from the canon takes away one of the best conversation in that whole episode #capsize calling tom’s bluff and her just like violently shaking jordan like ‘OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES YE WANKER’ #deadass ‘holee fok m8 just go be with your stupid ass bf and leave me the FUCK alone’ #mianite by a gay man #for ref- talk too much is jordan’s voice; violet is Tom’s #i can describe in vivid detail (aka the animatic in my head) how it’s the scenes of the whole affair with that its quite fun actually #the ‘BTS’ of it is the ‘offscreen conversations between jordan and sonja where she’s trying to slap some sense into him. interludes you coul #could call. it (stares in TH roleswap)

[DB AU Tony] how much of Pyrite!Peter’s life did you observe before deciding he was the one? What moment made you decide that he was the right choice?

Just enough. I didn't need much to know he was perfect. Intelligent, sweet, and still at that age where he needs a reliable father in his life-- Howard and that other version of me weren't cutting it. Watching them with him, I knew I could change his life for the better, and he would change mine too. I love being right.

#fic: double blind #fic: pyrite #double blind: tony #multiverse: kidnapping au #prompt: multiverse #ursa interlude: #he watched more than this but all he needed was like one Pyrite!Stark family dinner where Tony was home for a holiday or event or whatever #to see the tension around the dinner table and then the way Tony snuck off to Peter's room after their parents were in bed #a sweetheart peter trying to make the best of a dysfunctional family and also clearly already open to fucking his Tony???? sold

On the pleasant shore of the French Riviera, about half way between Marseilles and the Italian border, stands a large, proud, rose-colored hotel. Deferential palms cool its flushed facade, and before it stretches a short dazzling beach. Lately it has become a summer resort of notable and fashionable people; a decade ago it was almost deserted after its English clientele went north in April. Now, many bungalows cluster near it, but when this story begins only the cupolas of a dozen old villas rotted like water lilies among the massed pines between Gausse's Hotel des Etrangers and Cannes, five miles away.

The hotel and its bright tan prayer rug of a beach were one. In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows. Before eight a man came down to the beach in a blue bathrobe and with much preliminary application to his person of the chilly water, and much grunting and loud breathing, floundered a minute in the sea. When he had gone, beach and bay were quiet for an hour. Merchantmen crawled westward on the horizon; bus boys shouted in the hotel court; the dew dried upon the pines. In another hour the horns of motors began to blow down from the winding road along the low range of the Maures, which separates the littoral from the true Provencal France.

#finished sandman so needed another bedtime reread #(i can't read new books for bedtime stories bc the chance is too high i will get curious and want to keep reading) #and we're back here again... #possibly my favorite opening paragraphs to a novel ever. certainly very near the top of the list at least #'deferential palms cool its flushed facade' is a phrase that lives in my head rent-free and has for over a decade now #it's so lovely and visually evocative and also like #an incredible bit of like. thematic scene-setting #and then: #the villas rotting like water lilies #the bright tan prayer rug of the beach #that entire second paragraph second sentence about the reflections in the water #the ungraceful comedic interlude of our early morning swimmer #the merchantmen and the bus boys and the dew #ugh. fucking scott.... #tender is the night
